Taken with a AZ4 Mounted Skywatcher ED100 Refractor using a Baader Astrosolar Filter with a Canon 600D at prime focus ( 900mm ).
Used the ED80's filter cap so not the full resolution of the ED100 available but gained in focal length so less enlarging required. 10 image stack using Registax 6 as only a small cloud free gap at the time.

Skywatchers, this is your last chance to see a Supermoon this year!
The next full Moon, also known as the Beaver Moon, will occur on Nov. 15, starting at 4:29 p.m. EST. The term “supermoon” was coined in 1979 and occurs when a full Moon coincides with its closest approach to Earth - making it appear bigger and brighter than usual.

First attempt at M45 Pleiades captured last night. Not too happy with my processing skills. Lots more to learn in Photoshop. It's my First attempt at taking subs that are longer than 30s, it's nice to have a Mount that has the Ooomph to give me longer captures! :)
I did manage 200s unguided with no star trails, but didn't want to tempt fate. so settled on 120s & 60s to attempt to bring out detail.

I know I've over processed this in areas so will have another go soon. Also for the astrophotographers out there who notice. Yes I think I misaligned my DSLR in the focuser tube, as some large stars difraction spikes lean left in the right hand side of the image.

Andrômeda é a galáxia espiral mais próxima da Via Láctea e seu nome é derivado da constelação onde está situada, que, por sua vez, tem seu nome derivado da princesa mitológica Andrômeda. Está localizada a cerca de 2,54 milhões de anos-luz de distância da Terra.
Está em constante aproximação à nossa galáxia Via Láctea e ambas se colidirão em cerca de 4 bilhões de anos.

This is the latest series of data captured and processed over 5 nights from GrandMesaObservatory.com in Purdy Mesa Western Colorado using the Sky-Watcher Esprit 150mm ED F7.0 Triplet APO Refractor courtesy of Sky-Watcher USA.
The data is from “System 2” and available through Grand Mesa Observatory’s Subscription services which you can read more about here: grandmesaobservatory.com/equipment-rentals
The 2 renderings in Hubble Palette (SHO) and the more natural LRGB with H-Alpha and OIII were assembled and processed in Photoshop CC, we acquired the data using the QHY163M Monochrome CCD and all 7 filters LRGB and Narrowband Ha, OIII and SII Filters by Optolong
In the Hubble Palette version the H-Alpha is mapped to Green, SII is mapped to Red and OIII is mapped to Blue and I used the natural stars from LRGB. With the LRGB version H-Alpha is mapped to red and OIII mapped to blue.
57 individual frames make up these images having a total Integration time of 12.8 hours

The Crescent Nebula, located near the middle star that marks the heart of the constellation Cygnus, is a complex arc of gas that’s powered by the machinations of a massive dying star. Called WR 136, this star is just 4-5 million years old, but it’s big enough to have quickly burned through its store of fuel in its core and has now entered a stage where it sheds mass from its outer layer at a prodigious rate, nearly one full solar mass every 10,000 years. This fast-moving hot gas, which moves at a speed of 2,000-3,000 km/s, collides with cooler gas ejected by the star during its quieter days, and the collision excites the gas to emit light. Massive and mass-losing stars like WR 136 are called Wolf-Rayet stars. There are only about 150 such stars known in the Milky Way.
WR 136 will eventually detonate as a supernova when it finally runs of fuel and collapses. The explosion will obliterate the nebula and most other material within several dozen light years of the star. In its place will be a new type of nebula called a “supernova remnant” that consists of a rapidly expanding shock wave that excite the scant atoms lingering in the interstellar medium.
The location of the Crescent Nebula near the star Sadr in the constellation Cygnus, spread out over about 25 light years and lies at a distant 4,700 light years. It’s sometimes called the “Euro” nebula because of its resemblance to the symbol for the currency.
